Two Figures in Costume

Jan van de Velde II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures, a man and a woman, standing together. The woman on the left has her hands on her waist, facing forward and smiling. She wears a dress with a high ruffled collar and long fitted sleeves. Her hair is styled around a circular headpiece. The man on the right is gesturing with his right hand, holding a hat under his left arm. He has shoulder-length, wavy hair and a small mustache, wearing a coat, knee-length trousers, long stockings, and shoes with bows. Behind them is an ornate column, a window ledge with two potted plants, and an outdoor scene visible through the window. The background has a textured hatching pattern.
